“Whenever someone asks me how many languages I speak, I usually say 20-25, including all the programming languages I know. And from that group, English was probably the most difficult to learn. It has so many words from different languages and different sounds, a lot of it just doesn’t make sense. But it’s also been the most useful. I wanted to learn it because I always felt like Turkey, where I’m from, was not big enough for me. Even now, I feel like Earth is not big enough for me. I always look for new things to discover and, growing up, I knew that I would probably end up in another country. So I decided English was a good step to take for the future, so I could talk to more people and read more books. I actually studied Electrical and Electronics Engineering in university because I decided to stay in my town and that was the only degree taught in English. I learned a lot by watching American TV shows: Lost, Prison Break, How I Met Your Mother... And knowing the language today, I feel free. It is the freedom to reach more information. But... if I could pick any language to learn and use, it probably wouldn’t be English. It would probably be JavaScript. It doesn’t have many meanings or different spellings. You learn it once and it works everywhere!”
